LAUSD Student Wins Edison International Scholarship

3/27/2023

 

The District is proud to recognize LAUSD senior Aimee Persales, who Edison International recently awarded $50,000 as part of the Edison Scholars program. Aimee, who attends John A. Garfield High School in East Los Angeles, won the prestigious award for her dedication to reducing plastic waste that ends up in oceans and beaches. After recognizing the growing problem of increasing plastic pollution at local beaches, Aimee decided to dedicate her future career to helping fix the growing issue. Aimee plans to complete her Bachelor of Science in Chemistry at a four-year college and wants to serve as a role model for her East Los Angeles community. 

“With determination, grit, and perseverance, students can continue to achieve their goals and make an impact within their community and the world” - Aimee Persales
